Happy September,

Fall to me is a season of learning and trying new things. Whether you're looking for help with quick and easy weeknight cooking, saving energy, looking for a job, or just learning about self care, I think you'll find some great events at our libraries this month.

Due to unexpected construction at Paper City Coffee, this month's Brown Bag Book Club will meet at The Lunch Box at 710 Safford Ave, near Northside Branch.

A sneak peek at October: Our next Paint Night is coming up October 2 - watch for registration to open this month.

We're excited to welcome Richie Webber, who is currently featured on A&E's series 60 Days In: Narcoland. Mark your calendars for October 17 at 6pm.

As always, if you have suggestions for library events, I love to hear them. See you at the library!
